As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

"withdraw!"

Shen Qing made a decisive decision.

The five men had just stepped out of the warehouse and were about to return the way they came when two shots rang out, the bullets grazing the side and hitting the warehouse door.

Some soldiers somehow ended up here, and Shen Qing instinctively closed the warehouse door.

"Just two, they can take on the fight—"

Looking through the crack, before he could finish speaking, Zheng Dahai kicked open the door and rushed out.

The big guy initially thought it was a physical ability, but as soon as he rushed out, snowflakes began to fall within ten meters of him. It was heavy snow, and it seemed to have a blinding effect.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a strange howl, like the wailing of wolves and the howling of ghosts.

Seize this opportunity.

"The Yin Spring!"

"Kagerou!"

The Li siblings attacked simultaneously, one slowing down the other while the other launched an attack, and Shen Qing immediately rushed out as well.

They eliminated two soldiers in an instant, making the rifles practically useless in their team.

After grabbing her backpack, Shen Qing intended to leave immediately, but then she noticed an SUV with its door half-open.

"I have the key!"

He was overjoyed and rushed to the car, thinking he was on his luck. But then the dashboard lights up and the gas tank is empty.

"Depend on!"

Shen Qing slapped the steering wheel, realizing what was happening.

No wonder the soldiers didn't drive particularly fast along the way; they must have anticipated that the soldiers would try to steal the vehicles.

So it wasn't entirely due to terrain limitations, but rather the control of the oil lines.

There's no time to find them oil now; the gunfire nearby seems to be getting closer.

"Get out of the car and run!"

Shen Qing quickly interrupted the group who were loading things into the car and turned back the way they came.

Seemingly because the noise of the explosion had attracted the attention of all the soldiers, Shen Qing and his group ran out of the outpost without encountering any resistance.

However, as soon as they circled around to the front and peeked out, they were met with a burst of machine gun fire.

Before they could even figure out what to do...

On the other side, another team came running out, and there were quite a few of them. They were chased for a long time and there were still more than ten of them. No wonder they made such a commotion. This was a robbery!

"Da da da!"

This instantly attracted the attention of the machine gunners, and bullets rained down like a storm.

Although the machine gun firepower was fierce, it couldn't withstand the sheer number of people. Moreover, this wasn't a hidden firing point, and they weren't ordinary people either, so Shen Qing and the others went up to help.

They managed to shoot down two machine guns after the opposing team had eliminated half of their players.

"Da da da!"

Before they could even catch their breath, the other soldiers caught up, led by a convertible SUV followed by thirty soldiers.

Shen Qing's two sides combined totaled less than ten people.

Without time to think about what to do, they instinctively threw themselves into the roadside ditch, barely managing to avoid the round of gunfire by using the terrain.

As for fighting back, they'll retaliate the moment they show their heads; machine guns and submachine guns are much faster than unleashing their innate abilities.

Shen Qing tried to fight back with a machine gun, but as a newbie, he wasn't used to it and only had one light machine gun. How could he fight against so many people on the other side?

The off-road vehicle also had a light machine gun; if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been shot in the head.

"grass!"

Shen Qing was still a little frightened, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The terms he currently knows are all about enhancing himself; there are no truly defensive terms.

Relying solely on physical strength, he would be instantly eliminated if hit at close range by a machine gun capable of threatening light armor.

This assessment tests comprehensive abilities and is quite difficult.

Before he could recover, another student beside him started emitting white smoke.

"Drone!"

The previous effects on the electronic devices had become ineffective. Although Yang Xu had successfully disabled them again, the pursuers were fast approaching.

It seems there's no way out.

"Damn it, with no one covering our retreat, we can't outrun the cars at all!" someone shouted.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

"Hey, come out and surrender, don't waste your time! You can't escape."

The soldiers outside even started shouting.

Just as Shen Qing was about to peek out again to see what was going on, the tall young man who seemed to be the leader of the other group stepped forward.

He glanced at Shen Qing. "I caused this mess, I'll handle it!"

Before anyone else could speak, he flipped over and rushed out of the ditch, launching an attack on the car chasing them.

His ability seemed to be defensive; a layer of blue light enveloped his body, and bullets hitting him didn't eliminate him immediately.

It only started to emit white smoke after being shot two or three times.

"Da da da!"

But in that brief moment, he opened fire with his submachine gun, unexpectedly eliminating the driver of the off-road vehicle.

The vehicle stopped, successfully buying time for Shen Qing and his group.

"Damn it! Let's go!"

Shen Qing gritted her teeth and called to the others.

This was a complete mystery from beginning to end. First, the team was suddenly exposed, and then someone suddenly appeared and sacrificed himself to buy time without saying a word.

I don't even know what it's called... I should have gone easier on them earlier.

……

Meanwhile, at the destination, a hundred kilometers away.

Inside the tent, Lieutenant Colonel Chen looked at the latest report. It wasn't about how many more trainees had been eliminated, but rather that the base had been robbed.

He raised an eyebrow.

"Good heavens, they set up an outpost right from the start, bandits, and they actually succeeded."

Due to insufficient food supplies, there were indeed attempts to break through checkpoints, and quite a few at that, but the number of successful attempts was pitifully small.

Even out of ten times, it's unlikely to happen at least once.

Last time, it took a kid who could turn invisible to succeed; I don't think there's one this time.

Then, information came from several more trainees who had successfully robbed the base and escaped.

When Captain Chen saw one of the photos clearly, he was even more stunned. "And that kid with the machine gun, is this the one you guys were rooting for?"

He turned to look at Li Feng and the other team leaders from various provinces and cities.

"Captain Chen, don't underestimate him. He hasn't even been awarded a rank yet, but he's already earned a first-class merit."

"This kid?"

Looking at Shen Qing's profile picture, Captain Chen couldn't see anything special about him except that he looked like a pretty boy and was somewhat handsome.

"Team Leader Chen, since the squad leaders all think highly of this guy, he must be quite capable."

Are we...?

Beside them, a soldier wearing an exoskeleton came over and nodded, the meaning of which was quite clear.

Team Leader Chen began to think.

His squad had been formed for quite some time but had never been used in combat. The problem was that the assessment was already very difficult, and on top of that, it involved a special forces unit...

The pass rate for that assessment will be infinitely close to zero.

His squad consisted entirely of supernatural beings, with the captain being an E-rank. Although none of them possessed innate abilities, their equipment more than compensated for this, and they were even stronger.

Their individual combat strength even surpasses that of regular Night Owl members, and they are expected to become more widespread in the future.

The only drawback is that the current cost is too high, whether it is equipment or personnel training.

For those who haven't awakened their innate abilities, starting to cultivate is very difficult, and the resources required exceed those of those with innate abilities.

"Do you dare let me send out Squad A?"

The team leaders fell silent; they knew the assessment was inherently difficult.

This is just the beginning. What if we create another formidable enemy for Shen Qing and he fails to pass the test?

Passing the second stage of the assessment earns you a third-class merit.

Seeing their reaction, Captain Chen smiled.

"You guys thought highly of him, right? If all else fails, it's my A team's first appearance, so it won't count as an elimination. Is that alright? I'll compensate him with two E-grade pills."

First-class merit, D-level incident.

If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll have another chance to try?
